At Sat, 7 Aug 1999, Resha wrote: Dear Resha, I am almost 35 and three years ago had a D&C to remove a uterine polyp. Just yesterday I found out that it has returned. However "returned" is not the correct diagnosis for me. My doctor has informed me that D&C merely whacks off the top of the thing leaving the root, kinda like a weed wacker. Next week I will have another hysteroscopy, but this time the polyp itself will be targeted and the root will be cut down to healthy tissue. I'am told that the polyp acts like an IUD inhibiting inplantation of fertilized eggs and has likely been the source of my infertility for the last 5 years plus. Hope this info. may be of some help. >
